Fall hike soon
The Bannockburn fall hike
near Varna is Oct. 5, from 2
to4p.m.
Last year between 400 and
500 people hiked the hilly,
tree -covered trails in the
annual event at the wildlife
area on a 60 -acre parcel of
land in Stanley Township.
The Ausable-Bayfield
Conservation Authority
bought the land in 1973.
A press release notes
"ABCA will work in con-
junction with South Huron
environmental science stu-
dents to provide insights at
various points of interest
along the Bannockburn
nature trails."
The authority asks would-
be hikers to bring their own
mug for hot or cold apple
cider and make it a "Iitterless
hike."

The Huron Perth District
Health Council estimates
more than half of the pre-
school aged children in the
two counties with speech and

children, aren't idenlified or
referred for treatment.
Its speech and language
working group has been
meeting since last September,
and a services plan will be
submitted to the Ontario
health ministry at the end of
next month.
"According to Statistics

years -old are identified in the
district with S & L disorders.
"Unfortunately, this statistic
points to a large gap in the
number of children with dis-
orders which are not identi-

tinues. "Based upon the fact
that 10 per cent of children

Brickwork is well out of

of both east and west walls
by "about four inches over

the strew down steel roof is

life expectancy,. about 30
years.
Fiscal realities should be a
component of the parish's
eventual decision, Larry
Brennan, business adminis-
trator of the Diocese of
London said. He said the
architect's "condition report"
was requested by the church
and is common practice. The
"findings were the church
was not safe to be used... and
it was with a sense of pain it
was decided to not allow peo-
ple inside the church for wor-
ship." The diocese met with
the parish council last
Thursday.
The business administrator
estimated that $60 to $70 -
million dollars will be spent
for capital costs in the
Diocese of London in the
next decade.
EXPERT ARCHITECT
Brennan said architect Avis
is considered an expert on
older buildings and was
involved with relatively
recent work at St. lames
Church in Seaforth. He was
called in in late June and
early July to do a condition
re , used to anticipate and
prioritize needs generally in a
10 -year framework which
"become roadmap: over the
course of time."
Avis the architect said two
things became readily appar-
ent - repairing the building
envelope would involve costs
climbing to a signhticant
height, and the major struc-
tural concerns he then out-
lined.
Fr. Tony Del Ciancio has
been the parish priest at St.
Columban since Fr. Haldy
left in late June. He is also
parish priest for St, Patrick's
in Dublin and at Mitchtll.
The three -parish charge is
rare in the Roman Catholic
Church.
There are from 100 to 120
families in the St. Columban
parish, with an average of
about four parishioners per
family.
Fr. Del Ciancio led those in
attendance in prayer at both
the beginning and end of
Monday night's meeting.
St. Columban Church was
built in 1911-1912.
SIX BIG OLD BEAMS.- are the biggest problem with the 86 -year-old St. Columban
Church, as architect Alan Avis' report to parishioners made clear. Not only are they warped
as indicated, but all have a significant "unrestrained" lean to the south, towards the tower,
that will be very difficult to fix. The walls are out of plumb and the roof is on its last legs, and
also "dishing," which can be seen from the parking lot.

is to promote school spirit
and involvement. The execu-

MacKenzie Ladd. The club
was formed after students
attended an amalgamation

several times in the summer
to make sure it was prepared
and "pumped" for the
upcoming year. This club
